Thanks for the quick replies guys! [] I've decided to go with the Denon 1911. Everything I've read so far says it produces the best sound (out ofmidrange avrs) . I went with Crutchfield and got it for $399.0, no taxes, free shipping and an hdmi cable (although I've already ordered enough hi-speed ferrite hdmi cables for my needs).I would have gone with your link SuBXeRo, and saved 10 bucks, but these guys have a very high veri-sign rating.I'm gonna call it a small price for some piece of mind. [] Jason, according to these guys, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1252471, the 1911 has, "(2) The AVR 1911 has Zone 2 pre-outs (so you are not required to use the "amp assign" to power Zone 2). This means that, with the additional of an external 2-channel amp, the 1911 can run 7.1 + Zone 2 (whereas the 791 can only do 5.1 + Zone 2)."; however, I don't have any idea what that means? Does this mean I can add an amp if I someday want to, or will I have to upgrade the receiver again?

Hi Klipsch Community, I am new to all of this, and it seems like one really needs an engineering degree to fully comprehend and set up a proper audio/home theater system... but, you have to start somewhere. I have a set of Klipsch HD Theater 500 speakers and wonder what would be the better choice to pair them with: a Denon AVR-1911 or a Yamaha HTR-5063. I'll be swapping out the sub-woofer for a 12" model within the year (if that matters/helps). Thanks in advance for your time.
